[Neurophysiology and analysis of the phenomenon of catalepsy].

Abstract excerpt

Neurophysiological mechanisms of the photogenic catalepsy (the "animal hypnosis"), genetic catalepsy, and cataplexy are discussed. The data obtained demonstrates a significance of the brainstem structures suppressing motor activity and the muscle tone in these conditions. Motor disorders associated with the general immobility are discussed from the standpoint of the evolutionary theory.
